If my memory serves me right you have a fondness for water, and believe me we have miler and miles of the prettlest blue water and never a thing else but the blue sky above. We have been under way for five days and nights. At. first I was a lit tle dizzy but nothing to compare with some others. Ilowever, it only lasted for one day and I have been enjoying my trip lots, since. The fellows are just as jolly as can be and seem to be as much at home here as anywhere. The boys are all starting to supper or dinner-we get bread, butter and coffee at eight, another meal at ten and another at three. All good food and well cooked. Our lights go off at I:30 to 5 and then it is some dark down here. We are partly buried un der the water so you can imagine there ore no portholes open. I will write you ail about the trip when I can and know more to write. 'hen you receive this, you yill know I havg landed safely somewhere. Tell l'apa to write to me.

I Scarcity of NitratW Blanks. ,'he County Agent, Mr. Moore, stat ad that he has been very much Ivor ried this week' on account of the fact that an additional supply of blanks for nibrate of soda orders has not shown up. 'He has kiono everything iibssible to secure an additional sup ply from Washington, but for some unaccountable reason they have not cone. Ile has written to the State Agent at Clemson asking that the tine be ex tended beyond the 4th of February for returning the orders, but he has no assurance th4t this will be done. So the best thing for farmers to do, in his opinion, Is. to keep in touch the last of this week with the various agents in the county who will be sup i0,led with these blanks as soon an they get here. As published last. week there is an agent at every shipping ,point in the county and every farmer should get a chance yet, so lie thinks, of iaking out his ilt rate order by next Monday night.

A rather unusual Incident consumed most of the legislative day. Tt was on the discussion of the resolution of Senator Epps, of Williamsburg, de claring the next nine Mondays legal hiolidays. The resolution was killed by a vote of 20 to 1 2, not because of any lack of patriotisi, but. because the senators thought Ihat. it. would do more harm than good as offered. The resolution was piriiarily intndhel to help and to legalize "heatless Mon (lays" for bank lag institutions 0n(d others that .wished to remain open on Monday, but dide not wish to take the (hane( of being "without, the pale of the law.' ,111or P'l'ermt it liusite'ss.
